MINNEAPOLIS AND PACIFIC.

J.. w. Sullivan of Spring Hill, who was
in town on Tuesday, is of the opinion
that his town will be willing to extend
liberal aid to branch of the Minneapo-
lis and Pacific road from Paynesviile to
Sank Centre, if opportunity is again of
fered. There is no road in the northwest
which would bring with it greater. ma
terial advantage to the territory tray
ersed by it, and this village will, beyond
reasonable doubt, take measures to- Sc
cure branch hither during the coming
season. If the towns between here and
Paynesville do not SO desire to share in
the benefits as to assist in procuring the
right-ofway, the towns south of us will
be only too glad to do so. While our
people would prefer the Paynesvilleroute
on account fits being shorter to Mime
apolis, and for the additional reason
that it traverses a country more thickly
settled and with greater area under cul-
sivation, yet it will not be deprived of
the advantages of the connection simply
because the intermediate townships arc
blind to their owninterests. A road once,
constructed on direct south line would
forever settle in the negative the question
of any road through Grove, Spring Hill,
and Lake Henry. There would not be
sufficient territory tributary to it to war
rant an additional road. Not so with
the more southerly townships. If the
road be built south-easterly from here,
there is still reason to believe that di-
rect southerly line will be built to connect
the several lines of the Manitoba system
1t is not necessary to rehearse the advan-
tages to accrue from an additional route
to Minneapolis and st. Paul, even if that
were all; but when it is considered that
the Minneapolis and Paci6cis anintegral
part of the 500 and its direct connections
with the seaboard, the benefits are greatly
emphasized. This village wants, and
must have, the proposed line, and the
so oner the preliminary steps are taken
the better.

SEVERAL railroads are already making
preparations to penetrate the vast terri
tory of Northern Minnesota, which is at
present almost uninhabited. Congress
will be asked to grant rights-ofway
through the Red Lake Indian reservs-
ton, and it is confidently predicted that
there will be rapid development of that
portion of the state. Vast deposits of
coal and iron are believed to exist, and
the recent entry of lands in that vicinity
lends strength to the belief.

PARTY POLITICS.

From political point of view, the year
that is just before ms will be one of IT,
tense interest and activity. Not only
will the nationalc canvass be warm one,
but the state will be sharply fougts for
by both parties, although the outcome
need be far from doubtful The resrl3
last year in the state, while il offers en-
enlargement to the democrats, falls far
short of raising even presumption that
Minnesota is not now, as it has been in
the past, republican by pronounced
majority. The lesson taught, however,
must be needed. The republican party is
in no temper for bossism and personal
dictation by selfconstituted leaders. 1t
prefers defeat to ring rule and the next
state convention win either be surrend-
cred to the people or the ticket will be
imperiled. Republicans are not hero
worshipers. No matter how unexception-
able the man, if the methods of his Sc
lection are not felt to be fair he will be
repudiated by large contingent ofvoters,
although his opponent be known to be
inferior in character and ability.
This is what the canvass of 1886
clearly indicated. Gov. McGill is an ex-
cellent man and experience has demon
strated his fitness, yet he narrowly es-
capped defeat because the party felt that
he was forced upon it by designing local
politicians. The republican leaders in
past political fights in Minnesota are not
bad and dangerous men, as many have
been led to believe; on the contrary the
party owes debt of gratitude to the
Pillsburys, Langdon, Newell, Fletcher,
Gilman, Window and score of others,
who have figured prominently in its
councils and conventions, and yet it is
not prepared to permit them to dictate
its policy and its candidates. They will
be gladly listened to, and their counsel
will be sought because they are entitled
to confidence and respect, but they will
not be permitted to dictate, without pro-
test. Such being patent fact it ought
not to be difficult to avoid danger.
1t matters little who the individual
may be, providing he have purity of
character, the courage of his convictions
and the ability to execute them, upon
whom shall devolve the burdensome hon
or of heading the republican national
ticket, if he stand as the exponent of
c,ear-cut political principles. Blaine,
Sherman, Lincoln, or any one of half
dozen others would be equally acceptable,
providing the party places him upon a
platform of unequivocal patriotism.
Vote-catching chicanery and tricky Jug
Cling with language which may mean
anything or nothing, is unworthy the
party which has such-a brilliant record.
Let it's convention which shall meet next
June give a well-dehned expression of its
position upon the vital questions of civil
service, internal and tariff revenues, pub
lie expenditures, silver coinage and I'M
trammeled suffrage, and leave the result
with the people. Vile personalities and
disgusting record-ripping may be avoided
by placing pure man upon a sound
platform, and this the republican convea-
ton is bound by its party record to give
IS the people.

One of the ludicrous features of the
present political situation in the fifth con-
gressional district Of Minnesota, is the
frantic efforts of the st. Cloud Times to
whip the republican press into repub-
lican lines. Whether its efforts are
prompted by sympathy or fear does not
matter-they, are on the face, as disinter-
ested ashley interesting. Reading re-
publicanism to lifelong republicans by a
Observation-Disclosures demo
cratic newspaper is as refreshing to him
who reads as it is presumptuous in him
who writes. The republican party in
Minnesota is no more committed to the
theory of free-trade that the democratic
party is to the practice of reform.

I
The republicans of Minnesota will have
e hard road to travel next year if they
are compelled TO go into campaign on
Blaine platform, while the Pioneer
Press, congressman Nelson, w. d. Wash
btnn and many other leading republicans
and the labor element of the state, are
standing squarely on the principles en-
bodied in President Cleveland's message.
1t does really begin tolook as if the state
would go democratic next fall.-Brai1erd
Journal
The Journal is too sanguien. If its
premises were correct, witch they are not,
the republican party is not controlled by
any three or five representative men, but
has way of thinking and votingits own
convictions irrespective of party ring
masters, not altogether fattering to
those who would arrogate to themselves
a determining influence. The republicans
in Minnesota, by a large majority,
would be pleased to go into the canvass
of 1888 squarely on the so-called Blaine
platform.
